This Halloween, be safe when trick-or-treating by watching for cars
Briefly

Halloween is one of the deadliest days of the year for pedestrians, especially for kids. There’s a lot of focus on the risks of candy that's misplaced.
Lombard urged that kids under 12 should be with adults while trick-or-treating, and older kids should be responsible pedestrians staying off phones and using crosswalks.
There are going to be a lot of children out when it gets dark, and there is limited visibility, which emphasizes the need for cautious driving.
Backing out of driveways can be particularly dangerous on Halloween. Lombard recommends rolling down your window to listen for children while reversing.
